Weightlifting House

There were two main topics of discussion today. The first I believe Glenn just needed to get off his chest, and so we spoke about whether to use the pull or the deadlift when trying to strengthen the back and pull. Our main topic of conversation was one I have been interested in asking Glenn for a while. Which athletes does he consider himself to have made the most progress with, not necessarily in terms of their long term progress, but in terms of fixing their technique or an imbalance that they had which resulted in very sudden improvements. I just want to chuck out a quick reminder that the Pendlay WOD is now on Train Heroic. Glenn has 3 teams which you can look at. I will be on Pendlay STRONG 5, which is his signature weightlifting program. You can check out weekly samples of each program here http://bit.ly/2vNTpOuThanks again for tuning in. Until next time.

We are back! On this week's episode Glenn and I discuss what it is to live 'the life of a Samurai' with regards to weightlifting, and some of the choices we have made to focus only on weightlifting and the pursuit of strength.We also get into a hilarious chat about the new wave of truly awful Instagram coaching that seems to have recently blossomed.We also manage to tuck into a few questions that we have been sent in a rapid fire manor. But first, we discuss Glenn's latest venture! Finally after years of coaching only the USA's most elite athletes, Glenn is now offering his programming to us mere mortals on Train Heroic. The next phase of programming starts next Monday! So hurry and sign up to Pendlay WOD!

This week Glenn Pendlay and I talk Westside Barbell. Westside Barbell is as controversial a topic in weightlifting as you can find, but surely the weightlifting community can learn from arguably the strongest gym in the world. Glenn has spent several decades chatting with, training with, and trying to implement some of Louie's methods for weightlifting. Listen in as we go through the benefits of bands, box squats, and where people go wrong with westside. This episode is a must listen for all those interested in Westside Barbell and weightlifting programming.

In this week's episode Glenn and I take questions from Instagram: peaking for competition, back room tactics, the 3 most important accessory lifts, training for the supertotal, and more.

Join us this week as Glenn and I discuss the news that the world's strongest man Eddie Hall is turning his talents to Weightlifting. Is his strength going to allow him to dominate the sport or will his mindset be his limiting factor? We also discuss the current Pendlay Weightlifting Camp and how Glenn programs for one week of hard ass training.

Glenn and I carry on from last week's topic, discussing the importance of gaining muscle mass in the right places, and how to do this using the repetition method. We also touch upon the differences in physical attributes between extremely muscular weightlifters compared with those who visually look lacking in muscular development. To start off however we briefly discuss the awful events which occurred in London the day prior to recording.

On this week's episode Glenn Pendlay and I discuss the best way to work up to a max set of squats. A max set of squats can be ruined by taking incorrect jumps so approaching it well is important. We also discuss the use of sets of 10, and how to strengthen the erectors for weightlifting.

Strength is a process, not an event! In this episode Glenn and I talk about the problem with the current wave of lifters who seek instant improvements, rather than accepting the slow month-by-month process of becoming a weightlifter. We also briefly delve into the dangerous worlds of internet forums and politics.

On this week's episode I sit down with Glenn as we talk heavy deadlifts. Why not to shy away from them, why they won't negatively effect your training, and how they will benefit your development in strength as a weightlifter. For too long have deadlifts been cast aside in weightlifting training! It is time to bring them back in a big way...

In this episode Glenn and I talk about why it is necessary to carefully select exercises specific to you in order to progress. We also talk about the differences in systems between various countries, as well as the importance of strength training.
